I brought this issue up to my web host last night and they checked out my IP address and found that Xara is creating too many ftp requests triggering my IP address to be blocked until all of the ftp requests have gone away.

I checked XARA and find that there are no settings that I can find that will limit the number of ftp requests.

Any ideas how I might correct this issue?

Thanks, as always for your assistance.

to me, disappointing.
My question: Why is an important feature such as SSL not supported by Xara/Magix?

Fri, 18 Jan 2019 23:24:27 GMTHello all,

Presently, I am using "Nivo Slider" and have run into some problem. I attempted to change the photos in the slider. According to instructions:

1 To replace the photo, drag a photo file from Windows Explorer and drop it onto one of the large images below. Actually, while in Xara, I've gone to "Insert" and place photos onto each empty space on the slider. There are spaces for 4 photos. It appears I can only get 3 images onto the slider panels even though there are spaces for 4 images. I just can't seem to get the 4th image/photo placed. Any suggestions?
Finally, are there other sliders that will work with Xara Web Designer Premium 15 that are not too complicated. Thank you all.

bob

Does optimising only help with image sizes within the program itself, or does it also help to load the hosted pages as well?

I nearly always manually resize my larger images, then export, then import them at their new size. Is this the accepted method, or is there a more efficient way that I'm unaware of?

I'm a long time Xara Web Designer user, going back to version 9. I currently own Premium 365.

I haven't used the software for some time, for various personal reasons, and i'm just coming back to it. I'm struggling to add basic widgets such as photo slideshows to my web pages. When I go to insert content I am automatically directed to a Xara web page which informs me that my update service has expired. I try longging in with my Xara username and password, which seems succesful (as I am able to access my account and view the products that I own, for example) but this still doesn't seem to provide me with the access to any widgets.

Previously I have been able to access all the widegts i've needed directly from the Xara app on my laptop (they appeared in a bar on the right hand side). But they dont seem to be there any more, at least there is only 2 showing and mostly + boxes saying "view more online". But clicking these takes me to the same page.

I can't seem to figure out how to make a linkable rollover button from 2 images I have.

When I do the Pasteboard there is a white space all around and I want the art piece to butt against one another. I can't figure out what I'm not doing that causes this. I take about 20 pieces of art, soft group and make a photo bitmap of the piece and insert. I have taken the Rectangle tool, drawn very close to the edges of the art and still get a white border. Any thoughts on this appreciated. Thank you.

Sat, 12 Jan 2019 22:46:19 GMTNot much explanation needed: transparent .png on a stretched background produces a square of the unstretched background around the .png. It's the Alpha channel thing, but what do you do to work around it?

I searched the forum for this as I presume it's been asked before. Also not sure if it's a graphics question or a web design question.

Yes, I still need to clean up around the chunks of soy/meat :rolleyes:
